Backup Programs

All announcers must have a prepared program in the form of one taped show at the station for backup purposes, in case of an emergency (such as a car wreck, surgery, or sudden family problems). The existence of a backup is in no way reason to miss a show. Failure to arrive for a show without finding a substitute announcer is grounds for immediate termination. This backup is NOT to mention dates, underwriting, Public Service Announcements, or promotional spots. Backups should be appropriate to play at any time, if necessary.
